These descendants of the Anteanum have taken to living in the lush and beautiful forests and glades of the Mistwood, preferring to sleep as close to nature as they can. Wood Elves form small agrarian communities, living in blissful harmony with the land. Wood Elves practice little politics and while they have a king, their ultimate allegiance is to the Elven Queen who graciously takes care of the politics and administration of the Mistwood. While some may speculate that this would cause reason for dissention, nothing could be farther from the truth. Truly most Wood Elves just do not care or bother with such matters.

Wood Elves do not act nearly as haughty and arrogant as Gray Elves, in fact compared to Gray Elves they are positively humble. If not for their solitary nature with other Wood Elves, these Elves would find it much easier to work with other races. This is not to say they are not prideful, in fact they may be even more proud than Gray Elves, believing they have found the one true path all Elves should follow. However they do not foster their ideals on others and therefore do not seem as aloof.

Wood Elves have little to no economy within their society, preferring to share or at most trade for the things they need. What they do produce in surplus is sent to the cities of the Gray Elves to be traded with the outside world. When not tending to their environs, Wood Elves rival the Gray Elf skill at craftsmanship, again due to their long lives and great amount of skill as opposed to any biological disposition. Wood Elves have a natural affinity with the use of bows and indeed many can use one better than most.

Wood Elves hold the Mother in highest regard, which should come as no surprise given their preferred lifestyle. There are, to be sure, Wood Elves that have found this way of life unsatisfying and have found fulfillment following other paths including worship of the other Powers. Indeed, many who come to Avalon are in search of another way of life from being warriors to powerful mages.
